"The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202401-21 (KTextEditor: Arbitrary Local Code
Execution)

  - The LSP (Language Server Protocol) plugin in KDE Kate before 21.12.2 and KTextEditor before 5.91.0 tries
    to execute the associated LSP server binary when opening a file of a given type. If this binary is absent
    from the PATH, it will try running the LSP server binary in the directory of the file that was just opened
    (due to a misunderstanding of the QProcess API, that was never intended). This can be an untrusted
    directory. (CVE-2022-23853)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
